Generally speaking, layout for modern DRAM (LPDDRx, etc.) is a giant pain. Trace width, differential trace length matching, spacing, number of vias, and more.

And all this is needed even though the DRAM signaling standard has extensive measurement and analysis of the traces built right into the hardware of the DRAM and the memory controller on the processor. They negotiate the speed and latency at runtime.

Giant pain.
I'm not sure what to make of the difference in number of comments on the two posts. That piece is an excellent counterpoint.

Why do you think there isn't a good alternative to IMDB?

My advice would be to take down this domain and repo immediately and go build something that wouldn't attract the attention of a large litigious multinational company.
The network level is usually pretty solid in that regard with checksumming at wifi/Ethernet protocol level and at tcp, but that's the end of it for most systems.
Can you try and explain the difference? I've tried many brewing methods and quite like Aeropress, but can't say that I won't like anything else because of it. I also quite like the stuff from my automatic espresso maker, especially if it's just been cleaned.

Unlike Apple, where they are in in-direct competition on computer hardware,
For PCs,
If Lenovo starts doing it, then it's a marketing point. now Asus, HP, Dell would try and get it.

So it's the egg and the chicken where if it'll be important to consumers, it might end up as catching up.
Why DL generalizes well is still an open research problem AFAIK. I've read numerous papers that tries to argue one way or another why this works, and they are all interesting! One paper (that I found compelling, even though it didn't propose a thorough solution) showed that SGD successfully navigated around "bad" local minimas (with bad generalization) and ended up in a "good" local minima (that generalized well), and their interpretation was that due to the S in SGD, it will only find wide loss basins, and thus the conclusion was that solutions that generalize well seem to have wider basins (for some reason).

Another paper showed that networks trained on roughly the same dataset but initialized from different random initializations, had a symmetry relation in the loss landscape by a permutation of all the weights. You could always find a permutation that allowed you to then linearly interpolate between the two weight sets without climbing over a loss mountain. Also very interesting even if it wasn't directly related to generalization performance. It has potential applications in network merging I guess.

The IT job market is a two sided lemon market, people may lie on their CV but companies can be very abusive as well. If you don't do what OP suggests, people will not respect you. I've had five developers join my interview call to see if I can implement a palindrome checker. This is proof that non of them bothered to read my CV and check out my github projects. This is not respectful, and you have to stand your ground against such nonsens. Let them now this is not what you expect from people working for you and and that you expect better from them in the future. If they don't like that you won't have lost anything.

I'm the same. I offload stuff to my phone's camera. Not really "offload" because I barely load it into my brain, just photograph it and don't worry about it. It has saved my mass quite a few times.
It doesnt matter, if you want blue bubbles or to compile for iOS, you pay the cartel.

I have a similar problem with M$, businesses use Teams, so I pay for it.

These companies are beyond our abilities to 'not use them'. Although Apple is one of the few companies I don't seem to have almost any products. There always was a better alternative when I needed it.
Sometimes it's a subtle change of perspective, or a model that clarifies your thoughts. At the time it just feels like clever words, but the words stick, and slightly affect the course of your life.
I’m not saying one or the other is better for your family members. But MacBooks last very long. We'll see about the M series but for myself for instance I got the M1 air without fans, which has the benefit of no moving pieces or air inlets, so even better. My last one, a MBP from 2011 lasted pretty much 10 years. OS updates are 8-10y.

> The cheap Windows PCs suck […], but they still get the job done

For desktop, totally. Although I would still wipe it with Ubuntu or so because Windows is so horrible these days even my mom is having a shit time with only browsing and video calls.

A random laptop however is a different story. Except for premium brands (closer to Apple prices) they tend to have garbage battery life, infuriating track pad, massive thermal issues, and preloaded with bloatware. Apple was always better here, but now with the lower power/heat of the ARM chips, they got soooo much better overnight.
Every lisp system that ever existed uses this technique, and it never hurt them any. Emacs or SBCL or Open Genera; they all work perfectly well.
What is this example meant to illustrate?

int foo (int *x, int n)
{
for (int i = 0; i < n; i++)
{
if (i > n)
break;
}
}

Text around it is a bit confusing (typos?), but I'm pretty sure gcc will remove the if-branch at -O1 as the condition can never be met. I'm sure it's possible to illustrate whatever point they are trying to make with code that actually does something..?
That's an interesting theory. Do you have some reference for this claim?

If you look at this: https://www.statista.com/statistics/270499/co2-emissions-in-....
you see the emissions by country e.g.

Don't get me wrong.. I don't think anybody needs a Yacht or private jet.. however I think the emissions come primarily from industry.
Strange, I've worked on complex projects in the distributed space with Go and it's very easy to catch these things with `-race` and linters.
i think you are getting liberalism and "the left" confused
None of those are close to the potential destructive power that a truly global catastrophe like climate change is. Pol Pot? Soviets? WW1 and WW2? Famines in China? You are comparing political events against the laws of thermodynamics in a global scale. Even the Spanish flu has an understandable/predictable time period for the tipping point where it will be stopped due to how viruses and adaptations to it occur.

I don't think you comprehend the level and degree of difference between all of those events against the effects where laws of physics dictating how a planetary-level of change in energy retained will mess up with every single thing we as humanity need to survive on this Earth.

we have had serious problems with fly. namely that flycast addresses could not connect or resolve. this issue was present in multiple in all regions we tried. and has been going on for months. in the end we left fly postgres and manage everything ourselves.

fly has a lot of issues with their platform.

from my perspective this reads like what I would usually do as a part of a development team to the strategic teams when things does not work.

the only issues is that I am a customer at fly, not a strategic relation - we simply move on the other platforms.
To me, all these "isms" have millions of different versions, almost one in each brain.

If you ask a fan of AOC (not all of them obviously), "socialism" might conjure an image of clean and tidy Stockholm, ask a fan of Trump (not all of them obviously) and they'll tell you about Stalin's gulags or how Sweden is overrun by "Muslim terrorist".
This seems strange to me. If you don't have millions of concurrent requests to handle at the same time, why would you bother with a whole async framework? Just straight up spawning OS threads to do parallel work when you need it is both easier to reason about and does not mess with your program's stack.

Isn't the point of async/await that spawning OS threads is not scalable when you reach ridiculous numbers of simultaneous blocking I/O? It doesn't sound like you're really dealing with this sort of problem.
> I'm struggling with what you meant by "it's just a language thing", that is of course true and what I was pointing out. For the purpose of good communication, everything is a language thing and language things are important.

Ok fair enough. In english there is a distinction between just "Union" and "labor union". And under this distinction, a police union would not be a labor union. Language is important.

Moving beyond language though, I can't see where the distinction is important e.g. legally or ethically - which is perhaps why the distinction has disappeared or never existed in some other languages.

It's curious - perhaps related - that in English the difference between "salary" and "wages" also remains and is even relevant in some parts of the market.
"<anytool> usage metric" as a target in itself sounds awful. I would not like to work in a place like that.

Regarding GenAI in the company I work for, its adoption has been explored several times at different levels in different parts. I was tasked with trialing out GitHub Copilot, for example. But the company hasn't decided to go ahead and pay for any GenAI service.

Free-tiers are sporadically used for some very low-risk, unimportant, employee-supervised/reviewed use cases. But it hasn't proved to provide as much value as what they cost, even if currently paid GenAI services are still heavily subsidised (most if not all companies behind haven't reached profitability in their GenAI ventures) and the company is very cautious of what data is provided to these services.
Results of xlstm are promising but will need larger scale experiments.

However they completely messed up benchmarking experiments for various RNN models which in their papers claim comparable and even better performance than base transformer.
Its Apple. They can't have cognitive dissonance about the company they fanboy over.

They come up with rationale because its part of their identity.

Consider how Tesla looks like Elon Musk and has a bad reputation. We need to defend Apple or Apple will start to look cheap like Elon Musk.

(That or its astroturfing, which we aren't allowed to talk about here, but isnt exactly unheard of in unionbusting, time to get deleted for talking about astrotrufing and history)
There is something to be said there about power in society, ruling classes, interests and that German dude with the beard
So the law would be that any country that has another country's media stations operating with in their country will then be allowed to have their media organizations operating in the first country? That sounds complicated and schizophrenic.

So every country has to maintain a list of countries that have some sort of quasi-official news regulation agency that says who's a news agency and not are not and where they're operating?

Just the idea sounds too dumb to believe.
Writing a few selector queries is probably easier than letting a llm output the selector queries by instructing the llm with the webpage and output request.

I don't understand how that disproves it; your code is not well-formed.
I'm not aware of any serious Go project without linting and tests.

In fact, most projects I've worked on won't even merge a PR with ignored errors.

Also, `go test -race` is a Go feature, there's nothing wrong with using it.
And/or the 3-part PBS series Triumph of the Nerds, which was based on it and has tons of great interviews with the personal computer pantheon - not just Jobs and Gates and Allen, etc., but MITS people, Intel, the behind-the-scenes people who made the IBM PC, so on. Good stuff even today (the documentary is from ~1995 ish, I think). It's on YT.

so true. anecdotal, I've gone from 4 blue screens a month down to zero after going ECC, on the few desktops we require windows.

everyone must still be quoting numbers when we had 4mb of premium chips. now that all pcs have 8-128gb of the crumiest, cheapest silicon... i bet the failure rates are way more noticeable.

sadly, i got laptops for my company that have a PRO amd cpu and sodimm sockets... only to find out ecc sodimm ram is sold by one manufacturer gouging the NAS market with crazy insane prices.
>> Aren't there diminishing returns with Social Security ? so at some cutoff you are NOT getting more regardless of how much more you work

Yes, Social Security is highly progressive. As I understand it, it takes your average monthly income over your 35 highest paying years, indexed for inflation, and pays you (2024 numbers) 90% of your monthly income up to $1,174, 32% of your monthly income from $1,175 to $7,078, and 15% of your monthly income above $7,078. There's also a cap on the Social Security tax and so a cap on the monthly income that is considered.

People refer to those as "bend points" in Social Security benefits, and there is a greatly reduced incentive to continue contributing to Social Security after reaching the second bend point. Someone who is 49 today likely started working as a teenager and would have close to 35 years of income credits (and so only a few "zero" years in the calculations). If they spent much time in a high paying job they would be close to or past the second bend point.

See https://www.fool.com/retirement/social-security/bend-points/, although it has 2023 numbers for the bend points.

Also, sounds like the person in question was married for over 10 years, so there could be spousal benefits depending on the situation.
Ehhh at this point Apple’s privacy strategy is little more than marketing. Sure they’ll push stuff to the edge to save themselves money and book the win, but they also are addicted to the billions they make selling your searches to Google.

Agreed on the UX improvements though.
If I look around elsewhere than the article.

Basically I have no reason to be interested in another Atom clone, and there is no sell in this article that explains why I should care.
Wow, that's very very cool!
>The first is that human beings are, under ordinary circumstances, about as reasonable and decent as they are allowed to be, and can organize themselves and their communities without needing to be told how.

That's a crock of shit, look at how brutal early civilizations were compared to today. You have an argument over long terms (100+ year spans), but not in the near term.

If you want the assumption to apply to the near term, you have to accept that people behave in part based on the laws and society which they grew up with, which then makes you look weird for being against that system. That's what gives rise to the common decency.

Is it so hard to accept the fact that an author might not be completely 100% conscious of all the things influencing them when creating a work of art? That some choices they made because they just felt right in the moment come from somewhere else? And that someone else can see this happening from an external perspective and propose that way of reading the text that the author didn't think about?

At the same time, is it monstrous to put forward the option that you, as an audience member, are not a passive brainless drone, but you are collaborating in creating the meaning of what you experience? That your inner life and meaning and interpretation stemming from being exposed to art are actually interesting and worth talking about?

Why do we have to live in a world where we assume words written on a page or colors dripped on a canvas have a single truly objective interpretation? Why do we have to beat with a stick on the head of someone telling them "no, you're enjoying this work in the wrong way because the author said so"?

Please, I'd love someone to tell me how to find and buy computers that support ECC. I am looking to buy a NUC/mini-server, and they basically all sell with non-ECC RAM. Last time I asked on this forum, I was told that on Intel, only Xeon processors support ECC, while all modern (?) AMD CPU support them. Elsewhere I read that was matter is the mobo needs to support it. I have no idea how to go about it.

So, let me ask again. I was to buy a NUC new or off Ebay, how can I be 100% sure it works with ECC RAM without having to spend half a hour researching CPU, mobo and BIOS specs for each single product I come across?

If I had a budget in the thousands, I would go with a Xeon server that comes with ECC pre-installed. I don't and have modest needs. I only want to splurge on ECC RAM to replace the original sticks.

(No "you don't need ECC for a NUC" reply please. That is not the point of my question, yet it is a far too common response)
Well do remember that a lot of the recycling plastic, personal responsibility, carbon footprint thing was literally made up as a marketing gimmick by fossil fuel ...

I don't know how they counted 50 years. The last OS for personal computers was WinME. Win2000 that came after it is from the server/mainframe line of WinNT, with multiple users, quotas, System account having higher privileges than Administrator, etc.
I think relatively few corporations are offering Macs to people. It's all bog-standard POS Dells, with locked-down Windows images that often do not even allow you to change the screensaver settings or the background image, in the name of "security." I'd love to be wrong about that.
Hipster coffee is not all the same. My local farmer’s market has a coffee seller who cold brews super strong coffee, then adds hot water—delicious.

One hour by train from a given major city in the US is "just" a bunch of major suburbs, or by European standards, another major city.
> Anarchists are simply people who believe human beings are capable of behaving in a reasonable fashion without having to be forced to.

I find this definition interesting because it seems to me there’s a very prevalent portrayal in media pointing towards the opposite, that is that humans left alone (read, without some powerful/wealthy authority) will unravel into the most depraved state imaginable.

Reading the book factuality was fascinating because it showed me a view of humans that you don’t see in mass media since ordinary is boring and thus we only get either extremes of good or bad (read, saving the Amazon rainforest to a mother killing her child)

Anarchy by this definition is hard to believe (although I aim to) because we are bombarder with the exceptions to the rule
This is more or less what I get as well with my Nespresso machine (it costs 1€, you have to buy x€ of coffee every month which is OK for me). The average cost of a coffee is 0.4€.

The great thing is that it has zero maintenance and zero cleaning. I should probably do some de-limestoning (yes, there is a correct word for that that escapes me now) but I just avoid looking too closely.
I don't know what you've heard, but HR is not police for the employer, they protect the employer from the employee 99% of the time.
I’m sure there are whole sociology degrees on the subject. But this is even true intra class, in kindergarten. Probably as early as preschool, from what I’ve seen here.

What you are describing is the ascendency of a new third class of people in capitalist systems: the managerial class. Where once you had labourer and capitalist you now increasingly have people with real power derived from their positions within large private organisations and not derived from their direct ownership of capital

It is a bit of an overused catch-all term though, but explains what you are describing.
